Safety Advice
People with mild liver problems can usually take Apigat with careful monitoring. However, those with severe liver disease or liver problems that affect blood clotting should avoid this medicine altogether. Consult a doctor before use.
Your doctor may reduce your Apigat dose if you have kidney problems. Depending on their kidney function tests, people with severe kidney disease may require dose adjustments or a different blood thinner. Consult a doctor before use.
Apigat is not safe during pregnancy as it may cause bleeding in the mother and baby. Pregnant women need different blood thinners. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers as it might pass into breast milk.
Avoid taking other blood-thinning medicines unless your doctor approves. Limit alcohol consumption as it increases the risk of bleeding. Be careful with sharp objects and contact sports. Avoid Aspirin and NSAIDs unless specifically prescribed by your doctor.
FAQs
What foods should I avoid while taking Apigat 5?
Unlike Warfarin, Apigat has very few food restrictions. You can eat green vegetables normally. However, avoid excessive alcohol consumption and limit grapefruit juice intake as these may increase your bleeding risk with this medicine.
How do I know if Apigat 5 is working properly?
Your doctor will monitor you through regular check-ups rather than blood tests. Signs that it is working include no new blood clots forming and no stroke symptoms. Report any unusual bleeding or bruising immediately.
Can I have dental work done while taking Apigat 5?
Yes, but inform your dentist that you take Apigat tablets. You may continue the medicine for minor procedures. For major dental surgery, your doctor may temporarily stop it for a few days to reduce the risk of bleeding.
What should I do if I get a cut while on Apigat 5?
Apply firm pressure to the cut with a clean cloth for 10-15 minutes. Most minor cuts will stop bleeding normally. Seek immediate medical help if bleeding does not stop or if you have a serious injury.
Is it safe to take pain relievers with Apigat 5?
Avoid Aspirin and NSAIDs like Ibuprofen as they increase the risk of bleeding. Paracetamol is usually safe for pain relief. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines, including over-the-counter ones.
